This is the email from Ultima on my Beta CD <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

As a dedicated UO player, we are pleased to confirm that we are sending you a copy of the limited edition Ultima(c) Online: Third Dawn(c) Beta CD. With this CD, you will be able to participate in the closed beta version game testing process once you have confirmed agreement with the Pre-Release Confidentiality Agreement that is on the front of the CD install program.

You should be receiving the CD within the next 5-7 business days if you are in the U.S. or within 21 business days if you live outside the U.S. Once you receive the CD simply insert it into your CD Rom drive and if your Autorun is enabled the "Select Edition of Ultima Online" dialog box will automatically pop-up. Now, click on the "Install Ultima Online: Third Dawn" button to begin the installation process. If Autorun is not enabled on your computer, open up "My Computer" and double click on the CD Rom drive icon (or the UO icon), then double-click on setup.exe and this will also start the installation process.

If you have any technical problems while installing the software or while playing the beta version, please post your issues and your system specifications on the Ultima Online: Third Dawn Beta Bugs Board located at: http://boards.uo.com.

Please be aware that in order to post any issues or comments on the Boards you will need to be logged-in and a member of the Boards. If you are not currently a member, simply click "New User" on the top navigation bar and follow the directions given there.

Remember, this is a beta version of the Ultima Online: Third Dawn software and you may encounter some issues while installing and playing the game. If you do encounter anything problematic, again please go to the Third Dawn Beta Bugs Board listed above.

Enjoy!
